Take a look at the iPad ad that is showing up everywhere on the content network:

How frickin’ creepy is that? Come September, the new show “Children’s Hospital” will be causing nightmares on Sunday Nights at 10:30 pm.
Until then, it will simply be causing accidents on Sunset.

How cute is my boy? 
He wasn’t so sure about the snow at first, but then he began to enjoy it!
Adam Carolla Podcast – I’m Going to Be Working with Adam Carolla’s Podcast Team! :D
Apr 15th
OK, I can finally let the cat out of the bag. It’s SO exciting!
I am going to be working with the web team of (drumroll….) ADAM FREAKING CAROLLA!!!!!
I went into the offices and spent some time today…met Adam, met Donny, met Sandy, the IT guy I’ll be working most closely with. I get started next week!
I’ll be doing some WordPress maintenance and posting, RSS and XML work, some Social Media, and down the line (hopefully eventually they’ll let me, once they get to know me and become aware of my patent awesomeness, LOL) SEO work for the podcasts.
I’ve been SUCH a huge fan of Adam and his many projects for so many years that it’s a real honor to have the opportunity to contribute to his team. Also, as a died-in-the-wool internet geek, can I just tell you how amazing it is to have the chance to be a part of the team that puts out THE MOST POPULAR PODCAST IN THE HISTORY OF PODCASTS???!!!!!
I am beyond stoked right now!!!!

Caitlin Crosby’s Awesome “Embrace Your Flawz” Video
Mar 1st
I love people who are passionate about their projects, and that definitely describes Caitlin Crosby‘s three year quest to record the footage for the following video, and create it.
Caitlin (along with United States of Tara actress Brie Larson) is the driving force behind LoveYourFlawz.com, a budding movement to promote body image celebration, not just among teenage girls as such pushes often focus on, but along the entire spectrum of age and gender.
This is a subject that is close to her heart, and a theme that can be seen throughout her songwriting – like in another of her popular songs, “Imperfect is the New Perfect.”
Take a look at the video – it’s really great. Very inspiring! And while you’re at it – Love Your Flawz!
Snark + Marketing = Snarketing = Target Women = Hilarious

This series of videos, Target Women, were brought to my attention by college roomie Evelyn. And they are AWESOME!
Sarah Haskins does a segment on InfoMania, which you can watch Current Thursday nights at 10 pm.
There’s about forty in the series, but here are four of my favorite:
The first, the classic, the original – YOGURT!

Jeannie Mai and the Great Prayer Box Mystery
Jan 26th
OK, here is a bizarre (and also inspiring!) thing that happened to my friend Jeannie and a project of hers, The Prayer Box Project. Yes All In Caps. Deal With It. 
She had an idea to put a prayer box at the top of this popular hiking place here in LA, Runyon Canyon. It’s a place where people tend to do an equal mixture of hiking and contemplating, due to the stunning combination of cardio-inspiring inclines and awe-inspiring views.
In this box, people could jot down their prayers on little pieces of paper and put them into the box, bolstered by the notion that their prayer, as it slipped through the slot, was joining all the prayers – all the love, longings, hopes, dreams, and ambitions – which had been scrawled out on similar bits of paper and entrusted to the box by the hikers who had come before.
It’s poetic and nice, right?
So, of course it got stolen inside a week. Stinkin’ Angelenos! Grr…
However, that’s not the end of the story. On January 1st of this year, the very first day of the brand new decade, it mysteriously showed up again, with some of the prayers inside still intact, no less. Sure, it was worse for the wear. But aren’t we all? The important thing is that it’s back, it’s working, it’s serving its purpose. Again, what more can we hope for ourselves than that?
I’d like to take a lesson from the prayer box, and I think we all can. Maybe 2009 tried to hold us back, and beat us up. Maybe 2009 even snatched us off of the path we were on and held us hostage for awhile.
But, that was then and this is now. It’s 2010 and WE’RE BACK, BABY! We may be battle-scarred and a little tattered, but we are BACK ON THE MOUNTAINTOP!
PS – If you think this was a cool idea for a project and want to throw some support Jeannie’s way, due to her being the kind of person that would think of such a cool idea for a project, LOL, then visit her at her blog, http://IHeartJeannieMai.com (so named because she’s adorable and of course everyone does!), or watch her shows, How Do I Look? or Extra. Although, the latter not being quite as important if you’re not a Nielson family. 
UPDATED to include Jeannie’s tweet below. Thanks for the shout out, babe!
